Hi guys,  
if someone can give a hint how to get the mapping information through  
org.elasticsearch.client.Client.

Ok I found this article  
[http://groups.google.com/group/elasticsearch/browse\_thread/thread/278b52de3be37c08/445dacab328a6a6d?lnk=gst&q=mapping+Client#445dacab328a6a6d](http://groups.google.com/group/elasticsearch/browse_thread/thread/278b52de3be37c08/445dacab328a6a6d?lnk=gst&q=mapping+Client#445dacab328a6a6d)  
which replies to my question.

And here is a method if someone needs it:  
public MappingMetaData getIndexMetaData(Client esClient, String  
indexName,  
String documentType) {  
ClusterStateRequest clusterStateRequest = new ClusterStateRequest();  
clusterStateRequest.filteredIndices(indexName);  
ClusterStateResponse clusterStateResponse =  
esClient.admin().cluster().state(clusterStateRequest).actionGet();  
MetaData metaData = clusterStateResponse.state().metaData();  
MappingMetaData mappingMetaData = null;  
for(IndexMetaData indexMetaData : metaData){  
mappingMetaData =  
indexMetaData.getMappings().get(documentType);  
if(mappingMetaData!=null){  
break;  
}  
}  
return mappingMetaData;  
}
